...a few days away near the coast in England but want to stay somewhere just that little bit more grown up and luxurious then this could be the place for you.

When you walk in, you walk into a wonderful high ceilinged cavernous public area where the seating is arranged around fireplaces, paintings adorn walls ...
...an enjoyable stay. On the left is a morning/lounge room where you can sit and have tea and cakes, help yourself to the complimentary fruit and newspapers or just watch the world go by. On the right is a ballroom style dining room. There are lifts up to the bedrooms which are of a good standard and have good proportions. There were complimentary bottles of mineral water alongside the tea/coffee making facilities and our bathroom was kitted out with ...

ONE FOR THE HOTEL INSPECTOR

Advantages: Location, price & views
Disadvantages: Standard of rooms, maintenance issues, no parking & pretty much no standards

...begin my review of The Claremont Lions hotel in Eastbourne I would just like to quote the description of the hotel on its brochure, I hope this is ok I just want to give you an insight into what I was led to believe I was booking into. "Welcome to the Claremont.. A grade 2 Listed Victorian hotel situated in a prime position opposite the pier and famous carpet gardens with its fantastic views across the channel.

...websites and came across The Claremont Lions, which seemed a reasonable price and sounded like it was well situated and of a good standard compared to the rest of the hotels in Eastbourne. Well the write up made it sound like an amazing standard but having stayed in a lot of hotels I know that's normally nothing to go by. After deciding on the hotel we were going to use I set about getting some comparables and came up with the hotels own website ...

Review of Best Western Lansdowne Hotel, Eastbourne

By the sea :-)

Advantages: Seafront Location
Disadvantages: Too many coach tours

I've had the occassion to stay at this hotel a couple of times on business and am likely to have to stay there again a few more times before the year is out. As I stay on business I get a corporate rate which I find reasonable (£65 b&b) but if I was to be stay as a leisure guest I would struggle to rate this hotel as I have seen room prices up to £100 per night. The hotel itself is right on the seafront in Eastbourne, about a half mile or so walk ...
...can park on the seafront itself or down one of the side streets just by the hotel (which is the better option if you need toget aweay in the morning as pulling out from the seafront is a bit of a nightmare during rush hour). The rooms I have stayed in have always been clean, large a nd spacious. Don't expect any luxeries but you can expect the usual toiletries, hair dryer (I take my own though as the one in the hotel is a travel one and woud take ...

...found the place had entertainment a singer but I returned back too late to hear him. When I went it was a quiet weekend I think as everyone seemed to have gone to bed by 11:00pm. I did nottice at breakfast this hotel semed very popular with an elder clientel. Breakfast was a help yourself affair. The staff were all very helpful and accomodating.
